“Current Demands for Education Content – Teachers and Students’ Perspective.”
by Dr. Raja Maznah.

The content of the lecture is for us to prepare for the coming impact on the implementation of the new curriculum into the existing curriculum that is being use in the country. There will be challenges in implementing the new curriculum which is the KSSR, so a few line of strategies have been laid out to overcome those challenges. The new curriculum consist of 4M (membaca - reading, menulis - writing, mengira - counting, menaakul - reflecting). the first three elements of tht 4M is very familiar, but menaakul (reflecting) is new.

With respect to the those who came up with the existing curriculum, it still has it's flaws. the current curriculum is bringing the students up with the obsession of passing the exams with flying colors. this also shows that most students doesn't really cares knowledge is being fed to them as long as they are able to answer and pass the exams. National level exams such as UPSR, PMR, and SPM are the borders of achieving something great in life, so the pupils even went to tuition after school hours to equip themselves with the answer for the exams.

with such busy schedule, the pupils are not even reflecting on what they have learn in class thus making them an exam robots. with the implementation of the new curriculum, it is hoped that the students will be more reflective than before by critically thinking on the lessons taught. the implementation also helps to fulfill our national philosophy that requires them to excel in every aspects, which is intelectually, spritually, emotionally and physically (JERI)


the new curriculum will also leave out the UPSR examination taken by standard 6 primary schoolers. instead, the pupils will be assessed from standard 1 until 6 in which the area that they will be assessed are their aptitudes, cognitive ability and also their behaviour.
